Michael PaternitiPaterniti has published two books: Driving Mr. Albert, about a trip cross-country with a fellow who had Einstein’s brain in the trunk, and The Telling Room, about . . . well, that’s hard to explain because it has so many levels, ranging from Paterniti going to storytelling school to writing about the maker of the world’s greatest piece of cheese. I recommend reading as much of Paterniti’s work as possible. This is an interview I did with him about his article, “The Long Fall of One-Eleven Heavy,” which you can find in Historical Examples.
